2 bed flat for sale

Moat Hill, Totnes TQ9

This luxury apartment which makes up the whole of the ground floor of a detached early Victorian Villa has been recently refurbished to a high standard. In an elevated position above Moat Hill it offers quiet seclusion yet it is within easy walking distance of the town centre.

Steps lead up to a private pathway to the part glazed front door which opens into the entrance hall with space for outdoor coats and shoes. This leads directly into the attractive kitchen/dining room which is the heart of the property and is the perfect entertaining space, with a lovely wood burner to make it cosy on those winter evenings. The kitchen has bespoke floor and wall mounted cabinets with integrated fridge-freezer and larder cupboard. There is a butlers sink with mixer taps and Calacatta Quartz work surfaces which gives the kitchen a high end feel. There is space for a dining table to seat at least six. Glazed doors lead out to a sun room which in turn accesses the garden.

From the kitchen a small hallway with a large storage cupboard gives access to the double aspect living room. With wood floors it has a feature Victorian fireplace with tiled surround and open fire. With views onto the garden this is a light and airy room and has fitted cupboards that cleverly hide the TV. The master bedroom is also at this end of the apartment and is a large double with a Victorian fireplace and walk in wardrobe. Off it is the luxury ensuite shower room with large walk in shower. The second double bedroom is on the other side of the property and has glazed French doors opening onto a private terrace and a further window overlooking the garden. The luxurious family bathroom is next door and has a feature freestanding Arcade bath, marble surround basin, storage cupboard and shelving. A window overlooks the rear terrace.

Outside

The large secluded rear garden has beautiful Devon stone walls on three sides and is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees. There are fantastic views over Totnes and beyond and several seating areas to take advantage of the sun throughout the day. There is also a useful and attractive garden shed. To the rear of the property is a private terrace with an outside shower. From here steps lead up to a raised area which would lend itself well to raised vegetable beds or provide a lovely seating area offering more views over Totnes.

On street parking can be found close by.

Planning Permission

The current owners have obtained planning permission to extend the property by demolishing the sun room to create a new kitchen dining room and therefore make the property a 3 bedroom apartment. South Hams Planning no. 2150/23/ful
